Chef Andreas Arroyo chased after the suspected thief, Christopher Coller, and held him on the ground until police could take Coller in.

"I was cooking on the line when this lady and her husband walked through the back door. This guy came in with his hoodie on, walked through the front, then as soon as he saw the purse, he turned around, snatched it from her and start running through the back door," Arroyo said.

On foot and then eventually in a car, Arroyo and his friend chased Coller several blocks through downtown. Coller made it as far as Lafayette Street before Arroyo caught up to him in front of Paradise Pizzeria.

“I jump out of the car and start chasing him. After I tackled him down and put him in a headlock I was like ‘Oh My God, its over. Like its good, he isn’t going now where,’" Arroyo said.

Arroyo was able to retrieve all of the customer’s belongings that Coller stole.

Coller is currently still in the Lee County Jail facing robbery charges.
